Apart from the size of the watch (which will always be an issue for me on modern watches, but then that is what it is...) the details of the Rindt are the best so far on a modern TAG Heuer edition of the past. The hands, including the sub registers, the bezel, plexiglass and especially the concentric sub grooves really work on the watch and are well observed. Will I buy the watch? No, but then JCB told me not to ;)

Great to see so many old faces at the summit and meet some new too!

: Greetings from the Heuer Collectors Summit.

: It's late at night, and I need to sign off, but I wanted to get a
: thread going to discuss the new Autavia, which will debut in
: 2017.

: The big news -- we saw a late prototype in the metal and I believe
: that most of the collectors who saw it were very favorably
: impressed . . . favorably enough that they will actually go out
: and buy this watch!! Yes, it may be a shade larger than some
: might have hoped, and yes, some vintage enthusiasts may not like
: the date, but the overall impression was very strong!! Also
: amazing that TAG Heuer is so open about the plans for this watch
: -- it began as the Winner of the Autavia Cup, and there we were,
: looking over the shoulders of the designers, etc. This has the
: makings of being the "people's choice" in the TAG
: Heuer line-up.

: Good night from Neuchatel!!
